CALABASAS, CA — September 17, 2014— Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA) announced that Jaguar Network, a leading business internet service and cloud-hosting provider in France, has selected Ixia to ensure the company’s networks performed under growing usage and increasingly complex networking infrastructures. With Ixia’s IxNetwork test solution, Jaguar Network can test and assess large-scale networks before deployment, ensuring that its customers receive the high quality of service and experience they demand.

As demands on networks continue to grow, new technologies, such as SDN and NFV, help service providers to accelerate the deployment of new and more complex services while also reducing expenses. However, this growing complexity in network infrastructure also increases the need for comprehensive testing to ensure there is no reduction in quality. With Ixia’s IxNetwork test solution, Jaguar Network has the confidence it needs to roll out new services and the actionable insights it requires to deliver a superior customer experience.

Industry commentary

“Customers are expecting more and more from their networks, including increased bandwidth, speed and quality, and while today’s technologies allow for all these to be possible, it takes strategic testing of the networks to ensure that these new technologies don’t lead to a service degradation and are properly integrated in the customer environment,” said Nicolas Strina, CTO at Jaguar Network. “Ixia’s network test solutions provide us with an effective way to test and validate our networks and give us the confidence that we cn supply the services and experiences our customers expect.”

“With a multitude of choices, today’s consumers will not accept poor quality of service from their service providers, and as more bandwidth-heavy applications and new technologies are added to the network, the difficulty of delivering superior services grows along with customer needs,” said Mark Chaplain, Vice President of EMEA Sales for Ixia. “With Ixia’s IxNetwork test solution, Jaguar Network has the tools needed to deliver reliable services and continue increasing quality of service and experience across their networks.”
